We turn paid traffic into predictable customers.
We build the acquisition system behind the ad — from targeting and landing pages to follow-up and conversion.
- No long-term contracts
- Done-for-you implementation
- Built for service businesses
Your ads aren't the entire problem.
Most service businesses we talk to can buy traffic. What they can't do is convert it the same way twice. The clicks arrive, the money leaves, and nobody can say which part of the process broke.
Inconsistent lead flow
Some weeks the phone rings. Some weeks it doesn't. Nothing about it is planned.
Weak conversion paths
Traffic lands on a page that was built to look good, not to get an inquiry.
Missed follow-up
A lead sits for two days. By then they already hired the company that called back first.
No clear acquisition system
Ads, site and follow-up are three separate things instead of one process.

Anywhere a booked job has a number attached
Marketing should show up in the numbers.
We don't publish other people's numbers as if they were a promise to you. What we will do is agree on the six figures below before anything launches, report them every week, and make decisions from them.
Qualified leads
Cost per lead
Booked appointments
Conversion rate
Customer acquisition cost
Return on ad spend
Built by people who understand the sale after the lead.
Stride 8 started on the sales side of the business, not the ad platform side. Sitting with customers. Quoting jobs. Losing deals for reasons that had nothing to do with the ad that started them.
That's why we don't stop at clicks or form fills. A lead is only worth something once it turns into a scheduled job, and the work between those two points is where most marketing money disappears.
Our business model is simple — we help your business win.
Three steps, and you're not doing the work.
